How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

I called up one of the White House's "special government employees" involved in the Fulton County FBI raid. I ended up on the phone for almost two hours hearing about the "deep state" "cabal," "Satanists," poison soda, and the "pure evil" of "gay pride." talkingpointsmemo.com/news/meet-th...

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home. But did you look at the judge's order? It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept." Link to pdf: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Hey, before we get dragged into this any further, Iceland is really great and not (currently) involved in any stock market incidents. We just got auroras, and fish, and volcanoes, and Björk, and puffins, and rainbows, and whales, and sovereignty and stuff. #iceland

Here's another photo of a two-spotted octopus. He's waving a couple arms in the lower part, trying to distract me, and getting ready to jet away to the right. Which is what happened next. Octopi really hate being the center of attention.

As great powers abandon rules and values for their own interests, middle powers like Canada have a choice: compete with each other for favour or act together with impact.

From 2023. David McMahon is an Australian naturalist. He's on Instagram. David demonstrates how dangerous northern Australian crocs are. This is clear saltwater but if it was a muddy river you wouldn't know he/she was there. When David stands up the behaviour changes instantly.

Ryan: The fact that he couldn’t even get the name of the country right that he was saying he wanted to invade… his cognitive decline is well documented but that can’t be at the expense of my constituents and the people in uniform.

More tiny world slime moulds. These fellas are 1-2mm in height and simply stunning to see once stacked!! #macro #photography #slimemould #macrophotography #nature www.dhphotography.info/macrophotogr...

The wildlife along the Mendocino Coast is incredible. Every time I go for a hike I see something wondrous & come home full of awe. #wildlife #seabirds #seals #californialove

Vasa is a Swedish warship built between 1626 and 1628. The ship sank after sailing roughly 1,300m into her maiden voyage. After lying on the harbor floor for 333 years, the Vasa was salvaged in 1961 and remarkably well-preserved due to the cold, brackish waters of the Baltic Sea.

I'm not a young man. I've been watching the weather for 50+ years. This may be the most significant winter storm I've seen.

Lichen, Rusavskia elegans. I think. maybe:) NWT, Canada. #lichen #fungi #fungifriends

McGovern: Well, he said a lot of crazy shit today. I think it’s time to take the keys away from grandpa. He doesn’t seem like he’s all there.

Happy International Soils Day! With likely 100k plus soils worldwide directly and indirectly supporting humanity, it’s difficult to overstate how important they are to our wellbeing. Don’t let soils go unnoticed, dig into how soils impact your lives! soilhealthinstitute.org/our-work/ini...

More soil celebrations! Soil properties greatly impact water storage & transport across the landscape. In eastern Oregon, geologic events have continually changed the distribution of soils & reshaped the hydrology. Here we’re looking at the changes induced by basalt flows & recent ash deposits.

Wow. #RWC2025 #WomensRugby

ICE just chased everyone off the public road by the Broadview facility. They yelled for people to move and immediately began firing gas into the crowd, which included legal observers, press, and medics.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

They cry “free speech” when it’s hate, violence, and lies. But the second we tell the truth or call them out, suddenly we’ve gone too far. That, my friends, is what you call selective outrage.

Here are some nice mushrooms

"What would the world be, once bereft Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left, O let them be left, wildness and wet; Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet."

Authoritarians thrive on your silence — be loud — for America.

What’s happening in Fulton County Georgia right now impacts all of us when we go to the polls in 2026 and 2028. We owe it to ourselves & our country to stay informed. joycevance.substack.com/p/five-quest...

My mental health was 1/10 yday-was struggling to hold on. If my photos or posts about mental health have ever lifted you,could you maybe like this post? I know it seems needy but I'm trying to change the narrative in my head-find some value in myself. If I've helped someone I can hold on to that x

Where does the line between enforcing U.S. law & utter inhumanity lie? We don’t need to carefully parse its precise placement in order to understand that what this administration is doing has crossed it, is utterly reprehensible, and will be condemned by history open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Just wow! Can we appreciate the fact that a team from Mexico is in Texas helping with the search and rescue. 👏🏽

This is Lola. She is one of the most skilled soccer dribblers we've ever seen, so it makes sense that she's already capturing footage for her documentary. 14/10

I can’t speak for anyone else, but this analogy of “Lady Liberty’ held captive, is exactly how I feel about this presidency & administration and what their attempting to do with our rights and freedoms… The New Yorker captured the feelings perfectly… One word, UNACCEPTABLE!

Well, not quite all of them. But it will be a start.
